Having coached as an NFL and Division 1 position coach under Dan Henning, John McGregor is not stranger to 1-back football, as Coach Henning's roots came from Joe Gibbs. Further, he served as OC under my college position coach at a previous Division 1 stop. John had a chance to study Parts 1 and 2 of my four-part iBook Series (found here), and was kind enough to say this:

Dan Gonzalez was introduced to me by a friend who said that Dan was the smartest player he had ever coached. I experienced his knowledge first-hand when Dan and I visited NFL camps together.

Dan’s books are two of the best teaching devices for offensive football that my wife (who also trains quarterbacks with me) and I have ever read. Despite having an IQ that is off the charts, Dan presents his thoughts in a concise, straightforward and logical manner that the player can easily understand and implement. He uses “just-like” situations so that as the books progress, the player improves with each study rather than being overwhelmed.

As evidenced by OHIO STATE's amazing run using their 2nd- and 3rd-string quarterbacks, coaches should install systems and ensure teaching that coaches to the whole, not to singular people. We say all the time that "injuries are part of the game"; if that is the case, systems need to be able to account for injuries, rather than accepting defeat.
